Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless problem
Hi, Power saving, see man iwconfig (but I can't say more, I never touched it) Bye, Jil Rev. Ferris a écrit : Hi! I have a wireless problem. I bought yesterday a Zyxel G202 USB stick and I attack it of my workstation. This hardware is supported from zd1211rw driver. I set all parameters of my network and I started it. It works fine, pretty signal quality, good speed, etc. After some quiet time, from my network monitor I noticed a lost in the connection. Now, if I restart the connection it works fine, but after a X time it disconnects again. I don't find any message on dmesg or /var/log/messages and for that reason I have no idea how I can solve the problem. I think it is something correlates with energy management. Any idea?
